    Bruschetta -- spicy tuna and buratta -- was delicious. Calamari should have been tasty too but was way overdone. Shared a burger, and it was outstanding -- caramelized onions, tomato jam, cheese, and a perfectly done burger, who could ask for more? We'll be back.

    Better than your average hotel restaurant and better than your average steakhouse.

    We went here for one of my best friend’s bachelorette party and we loved it! The ambiance was great, it was everything we were looking for, and the food was filling! 10/10 would recommend.
